  • Varnier Fanniere Grand Vintage 2012

    NT$ 5,300

    Each bottle of our Grand Vintage Champagne has been produced with our oldest plots, whose grapes have maximum aromatic potential. The pale gold color with silvery reflections is highlighted by a beautiful carpet of moss. It is a mature nose. The praline and dry herbs give way to floral notes.
    After an attack of remarkable freshness, the mouth offers a beautiful amplitude which increases as the tasting progresses. The finish is long and marked by notes of hazelnuts.
    This Grand Vintage 2011 is a fine example of Chardonnay from which we have been able to wait for maturity.
    It will go wonderfully with a Bresse vollaille or a quail fillet with its white mushroom sauce.

  • Varnier Fanniere Jean Fannière ORIGINE Grand Cru

    NT$ 3,500

    This Cuvée is dedicated to my Grand Father Jean FANNIERE who decided, in the 1950s, to no longer sell his grapes and to produce his own Champagne.
    The Grand Cru vines used at the time, located on the Cramant terroir, are still used to produce this Cuvée, and are over 50 years old. The sugar dosage is “extra brut” (only 3 g / liter of sugar) and allows you to express all the minerality and finesse of these terroirs after 5 years of aging in the bottle. To taste with oysters, fish in sauce or as an aperitif …

  • Varnier Fanniere Brut Grand Cru Cuvée ST-DENIS

    NT$ 3,500

    The term Cuvée means the first juice that flows from the press (therefore the best).
    The grapes come from a single 68-year-old parcel of Avize: “le Clos du Grand-Père”. Cuvée adorned with a light gold color with discreet green reflections, the bubbles are fine and light.
    The nose is a bouquet of aromas which has evolved over the 5 years of aging in our cellars. Discretion of white flowers, hint of lychees and dried fruits, typical of great Chardonnays. The maturity on the palate is there, in the form of toasted hazelnuts and pastries, with a marked mineral finish. An old Cuvée for connoisseurs … as an aperitif or with foie gras.

  • Varnier Fanniere ROSE Esprit de Craie

    NT$ 3,100

    The soil of our terroirs of the Côte des Blancs is made up of a thin layer of soil sometimes covering 10 meters of chalk from belemnite fossils (small shells).
    The roots of our Chardonnay vines must draw very deep water resources and mineral elements essential to their survival.
    This poverty of our soils produces wines with a magnificent mineral structure.
    This Rosé version of our Esprit de Chalie reveals a nose that combines red fruits and unripe citrus fruits …
    On the palate, the finesse of its minerality will make it the ideal companion for your summer aperitifs, for example on small toasts of salmon …

  • Varnier Fanniere ROSE ZERO Grand cru

    NT$ 3,300

    A new cuvée created in 2013.  Alliance of Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs and Grand Cru red wine from Pinot Noir from Ambonnay, this new Cuvée explores for the first time the lack of dosage in our Champagne Rosé. (non-dosed rosés are extremely rare in Champagne!)   The result is explosive! On the nose, we smell raspberries and wild strawberries. On the palate, the power of the red wine emerges here fully and is no longer masked by any pageantry…   The tannins are very present, we feel this very pleasant bitterness of a not quite ripe cherry…   A peppery note also appears, and we finish with the very present minerality of Chardonnay.

  • Varnier Fanniere ROSE Brut Grand Cru

    NT$ 3,300

    Our Rosé Grand Cru is an original cuvée, which combines the finesse of Chardonnay (90%) with the power and fruitiness of the red wine of Pinot Noir (10%) from the village of Ambonnay, historic Grand Cru of Champagne. Her dress is adorned with a pale pink, an alliance of amber and ruby.  The nose is dominated by fresh red fruits, blackberry and blackcurrant.  On the palate, the attack is lively and shows perfect balance, recalling the strong personality of Pinot Noir. A long, fine and powerful finish at the same time.  Our Rosé charms and seduces. It has the rare privilege of being among the most popular champagnes of women! An ideal champagne for the aperitif or to accompany desserts with red fruits.

  • Varnier Fanniere Esprit de Craie Extra Brut

    NT$ 2,900

    The soil of our terroirs of the Côte des Blancs is made up of a thin layer of soil sometimes covering 10 meters of chalk from belemnite fossils (small shells). The roots of our Chardonnay vines must draw very deep water resources and mineral elements essential to their survival. This poverty of our soils produces wines with a magnificent mineral structure. This “Craie Spirit” is made with two of the most chalky plots of our estate. The “Extra Brut” dosage (6 gr / liter of sugar), makes it an ideal wine for the aperitif, with beautiful notes of citrus fruits, green apple and brioche, and always this beautiful minerality at the end of the mouth…
